Comments on Kailh Choc (V1) Brown switches | Comments on lowprokb Choc (V1) Sunset switches |
Kailh Low Profile Choc Brown switches are lower profile versions of your classical tactile MX switches. The V1 Choc switches are only compatible with specific Choc PCB and keycaps. The V1 Choc Brown switches offer a similar feel and tactility to the Kailh Box Browns, but due to the low profile format have a lower actuation force and less travel distance. Despite the compact format these switches are still rated for over 50 million cycles. | The Sunset Tactile Choc Switches are being dubbed as "the first truly new Choc switch in years". The switch was born from a design by LowproKB - a company that specializes in anything and everything low profile and Choc - and manufactured by Kailh, the leading company in Choc switches. Using a newly designed tactile stem and a 40g spring, the Sunset switch is able to produce a nice tactile bump, and as it comes factory lubricated, is also exceptionally smooth. |
